The FREAKONOMICS RADIO podcast is moving from WNYC STUDIOS to MIDROLL MEDIA's STITCHER podcast network and platform under a new longterm deal between the show's host and "FREAKONOMICS" co-creator STEPHEN J. DUBNER. The move will take place with new episodes debuting this JULY and will also include continuing ad sales for DUBNER's other podcast, "TELL ME SOMETHING I DON'T KNOW," as well as special projects. DUBNER's DUBNER PRODUCTIONS will produce the show with STITCHER.

“STITCHER has proven itself best-in-class in the podcasting world,” said DUBNER. “And they are absolutely packed with talent, from the business side to the editorial side. I can’t wait to get to work with them.”

“‘FREAKONOMICS RADIO’ is an iconic brand in the podcast industry and has a large and loyal following,” said MIDROLL/STITCHER CEO ERIK DIEHN. “We see great opportunity for building on that legacy by introducing the brand to new audiences across platforms, and STITCHER is the right partner for that transformation. Our leadership and relationships across the podcast ecosystem will help elevate ‘FREAKONOMICS’ to new levels.”
